Windows SMP mpich client problems

I have been running the 6.23 Windows SMP mpich client on my quad core for quite some time now. It starts via "C:\Folding\Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe -smp" shortcut in the startup folder.

I restarted the other day and it failed to come back up. I tried launching it manually, and the CMD prompt pops up for half a second, then disappears.

- tried running install.bat again. No errors, but still the same problem.
- tried launching C:\Folding\Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe -smp from cmd prompt... no errors, but no folding either.
- did a full uninstall and reinstalled a new package downloaded from Stanford..... no errors but still no folding.
- Does not run long enough to even generate a log file.

I have been folding for years now and can't think of anything else to try.
needless to say, it pains me to see 4 cores sitting idle... and my room is starting to get cold!
 
The old client hit the end of its useful life around July 4, 2009.

If you never reboot... it just keeps working and working until you stop the client and/or reboot.
 
Mine stopped and didn't download a new wu after finishing the one it was working on.
I replaced the exe on the 4th and all started crunching again.
